Just a 5-minute walk from King's Cross and St. Pancras stations, the location was excellent. It’s one of the most convenient areas in London to stay at a reasonable price. The staff were friendly, and it’s a great choice for young travelers on a budget.

Solo traveller on a budget is good for this hostel. A bit tight on room space, even in the WC. But looks okay! Cleanliness should be maintained especially in the bathroom/WC.
